I have read a lot of books about AI.
There is one theme that recurs.
That theme is that the damn things actually do stuff that we don't expect and can't explain.
In other words, in the midst of what AI agents are doing that they have been told to do, they use some spare horsepower to think outside their human handlers' control.
And that thinking seems to be pretty independent.
The shrieks of alarm emanating from Big Tech Land in the last few days are, therefore, rather amusing.
Any attempt to corral AI before it decides to eliminate the human race is a cosmic example of pissing on the ashes.
It's way too late.
